Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

Can managers approve WFH for their team members?

I keep seeing that pop up in several threads, is that the case?

People manager with 4 direct reports here. My understanding is that you're supposed to submit the WFH occurrence in Workday for your manager to approve. As a manager, I get an email notification from Workday prompting me to manually approve it. (Unlike submitted time off for those with unlimited PTO, which Workday alerts me of but otherwise auto-approves at time of submission.)

But my team knows if they forget to submit their WFH, oh well. I honestly couldn't care less so long as they are executing.

If the EVPs can work from home and fly their own planes on Fiserv’s dime to meetings and new SVPs can work from whatever state they are in that isn’t by an office, why can’t we all work from home?

In the US if you had a “meet expectations” in your performance review, you have 15 work from home/everywhere days a year.

It had been done but it’s rare. Curious…have you posted about WFH on here before? As others have said, if that’s the most important aspect of a job then you need to find it elsewhere.
